What if...?

“Come over to the dark side…we have candy.”Unknown

What if…you lived in a land made up of candy?

Seas of gray, and blacks as dark as the midnight sky would not be permitted within my land of candy; pastels and brights would be the only colors embraced, given the fact that shades such as this would complement the sweets budding all around us so well. My ensemble du jour, adhering precisely to these specifications, would be Alice + Olivia’s Lexi Strapless Dress with Belt. Each morning, as the sun creeps into the pale blue sky, yellow rays dancing upon my feather-soft bed, I would turn my head and daintily bite off a piece of my pristine white pillow – crafted out of true marshmallows, mind you – indulging in my very first sugar rush of the day…the one guaranteed to get me out of bed and moving.

Unlike lands constructed out of ordinary brick and mortar; the land of candy is a unique location. Trees would be made of cotton candy in a wide variety of colors; flowers budding from the earthy, crushed Oreo-cookie soil would bloom in the form of lollipops; creepy crawlies would not be slimy or slippery – rather, they would be made out of squishy gummy materials; pools, lakes, rivers, and oceans would be full not of water but of sticky strawberry syrup; and raindrops would take on the form of gumdrops on gloomy days. The best part, however, does not fall upon the beauty of such a place; that honor is attributed to the taste…for each and every part of the land of candy is edible.

What would life be like for you if you lived in a land made up of candy? What would your surroundings look like? What would the style rules be? Don’t keep me waiting a moment longer, my loves; I must know!
